We have called this online newsletter the Night
Light News because it brings to mind quiet reading
under a small focused night light. Esoteric students,
before sleep and to prepare for ancient wisdom classes
held between 10 pm and 5 am each night, are often seen
reading their astrological and esoteric texts under a
night light.

"Night" is also ancient Egyptian/Sumerian code word
for Sirius B, the companion star of Sirius A. According
to an ancient Egyptian treatise called, The Virgin of
the World, Sirius B "weaves her web with rapid light,
bestowing order on all things below." Sirius B orbits
Sirius A and is the smallest, densest and heaviest of all
stars in the heavens. Considered the starting point of
creation Sirius B is said to contain the germ of all
things, and while moving on her own axis, upholds all
creation in space. Sirius B's orbit determined the
Egyptian calendar.
